It is getting close to possession date for my new apartment, but is still 2 months away from my house being gone. I am not looking forward to paying the bills for both places for that long, but since it is temporary, I will survive. 🙂 I have sold a few items that I will… Continue reading Two Homes for Awhile

Change in Lifestyle
I have been busy making plans and acting on them as required in the last few weeks. As many of you know – I tried to retire 2 years ago and failed. The problem was that bills kept coming in, but my pension money wasn’t enough to cover them. 😦 So, I went back to… Continue reading Change in Lifestyle
What’s the Rush?
Eventually, I usually get around to getting things done. 🙂 A few weeks ago I was thinking about getting the plastic up on 2 of my windows upstairs that have quite a draft. The cold weather would be coming soon and they would need to be covered. Then a couple of weeks ago, I dragged… Continue reading What’s the Rush?
Little Bit of This – Little Bit of That
There is seldom much going on around here in the dead of winter and January is about as dead as it can get. 🙂 We’ve had snow (not too much so far this year) and we’ve had cold & windy days. Today has been a lovely break in the cold with a current temperature of… Continue reading Little Bit of This – Little Bit of That
I Went for a Walk
Chester and I go for 2 walks every day, but the last few days, I have been trying to beat my steps from the days before. To do that today, I had to go on a longer walk. This started innocently enough on Saturday. I had a shift to work at a location fairly close… Continue reading I Went for a Walk
Progress
I’ve got a little bit of progress here and a little bit of progress there. First – the job situation: It looks like I will have 3 shifts at the Y each week. The shifts are 4 hours each – so 12 hours per week. I also have 3 shifts at Comforts of Home each… Continue reading Progress
I Failed
After years of convincing people that I am perfect, it is hard to admit that I made a mistake and that I failed at something. If you remember, I retired in the spring this year. That is what I failed. One of the employees at the Y suggested that I should be looking to see… Continue reading I Failed
Things
Things are not moving as smoothly lately as they have been, but I am sure everything will be on track again soon. The main problem is my job, which unfortunately I need to survive. One of my supervisors decided to remove me from one of my clients without any particular reason, except that he could. … Continue reading Things
The Red River and the House
It looks like all the bushes are now planted along the Red River bank . I took a closer look at a couple of the trees and it almost looks like they are Elm trees – but I didn’t think they were planting Elms these days. Wonder if it is a different type of Elm? … Continue reading The Red River and the House
Red River Bank and Home Maintenance
The sun was up, but hadn’t made it past the clouds when Chester and I took our walk yesterday morning. We noticed that workers had been busy along the riverbank where the roadwork was done last year. Trees have been planted and by this morning, I expect that several bushes will also be planted. Now… Continue reading Red River Bank and Home Maintenance
